I believe this is my best picture. It goes to show ya that you don't need a fancy camera to take a good shot.

NOW FAITH IS THE SUBSTANCE OF THINGS HOPED FOR, THE EVIDENCE OF THINGS NOT SEEN. ( HEBREWS 11:1 *NKJV )

Dear Charles, Our Heavenly Father gives everyone of us faith for it is written: GOD HAS DEALT TO EACH ONE A MEASURE OF FAITH. ( ROMANS 12:3 ) However we must add to our given faith, and we can because: FAITH COMES BY HEARING, AND HEARING BY THE WORD OF GOD. (ROMANS 10:17)

The Apostle Paul wrote: I AM NOT ASHAMED OF THE GOSPEL OF CHRIST, FOR IT IS THE POWER OF GOD TO SALVATION FOR EVERYONE WHO BELIEVES. FOR IN THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD IS REVEALED FROM FAITH TO FAITH; AS IT IS WRITTEN, 'THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY FAITH.'" ( ROMANS 1:17 )

Therefore Charles, it is important that WE WALK BY FAITH NOT BY SIGHT, ( 2 CORINTHIANS 5:7 ) trusting with all of our heart, that our Heavenly Father will help us when we face a problem in our lives! Remember it is written that: WITHOUT FAITH IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO PLEASE HIM, FOR HE WHO COMES TO GOD MUST BELIEVE THAT HE IS, AND THAT HE IS A REWARDER OF THOSE WHO DILIGENTLY SEEK HIM. So; HAVE FAITH IN THE LORD YOUR GOD AND YOU WILL BE UPHELD; HAVE FAITH IN HIS PROPHETS AND YOU WILL BE SUCCESSFUL as well. Amen. ( HEBREWS 11:6 ) ( 2 CHRONICLES 20:20 )

FREDERICTON, NB -- "I promise to donate $$ to UNB if they follow their own stated guidelines in the development of the UNB Woodlot."

On their own website - www.unb.ca/lms/woodlot/wprinciples.html - UNB's "Guiding Principles" for the Woodlot Development, include "sustainable mixed-use development", "demonstrate UNB's commitment to excellence in development and management", and "increase UNB's profile as an environmental steward and community leader"

BACKGROUND

UNB was the first public university in North America, enacted by public statute. Under the UNB Higher Education Act, s. 6 (1), UNB may invest money into any property as long as they do so exercising good judgment, and care that a person of prudence, discretion and intelligence would exercise as a TRUSTEE of the property of others.

In 1800, King George III granted the UNB Woodlot to the College of New Brunswick. This area is legally a Wildlife Refuge and is 10 times the size of Odell Park in Fredericton and 4 times the size of Stanley Park in Vancouver. It is one of the oldest managed woodlots in North America, used by faculty researchers, students, and the community alike.

How can it be in the best interest of UNB students and alumni to have university land given away to the development of big box retailstores? And how can you have comprehensive land use planning if "there is no plan in place" for the mixed development area?

Our message to the UNB administration and Board of Governors is simple. We request that a moratorium be placed on the construction of all roads (e.g. a 45-metre right of way, 4-lane Knowledge Park Drive extension) until such time as the mixed-use development plan and related public consultation are complete.

The development of the UNB Woodlot is a public issue. The trustees of UNB have to put the best interests of students and the UNBcommunity above their own in deciding how to develop this land.
